Block Marble

Marble is an example of a type of building stone and is in the category of metamorphic limestone. The base of this metamorphic rock is calcium carbonate and is composed of calcite, dolomite and crystal.

It is well known that water and asphalt will not mix, except under carefully controlled conditions using highly specialized equipment and chemical additives.

. IT is one of the stones that shows great resistance to heat. This stone weighs about 2560 kg per square meter and its compressive strength and reliability are higher than travertine and lower than granite. marble has a wide range of colors due to the presence of impurities within. This stone can be used as flooring and wall covering.

Application:

Floor stones of residential units
Floor stones of commercial and residential units
View of the interior walls of the building
Stairs and parking floors

Chemical Properties of Marble

Chemically, they are crystalline rocks composed predominantly of calcite, dolomite or serpentine minerals. The other minor constituents vary from origin to origin.
